The Gujarat Motor Transport Vehicle Toll Act, 1992
This Act mandates the collection of toll charges on motor transport vehicles entering Gujarat from other states to help fund road infrastructure projects. It specifically applies to the operators of various types of vehicles such as stage carriages, contract carriages, and goods vehicles that are operating under permits issued by jurisdictions outside the state. The State Government sets specific toll rates based on vehicle size, which must be paid before passing through designated barriers. The legislation empowers authorized officers to stop and detain vehicles if tolls remain unpaid, ensuring the state collects necessary revenue for transport maintenance while regulating interstate entry into the state and maintaining traffic flow.
